That will not happen until the tour is over as he will need somewhere to transfer the treasures. The trash he could just leave on the nature strip in hopes that it will walk by itself.
Hope you are taking notes Tanks as for sure there will be a test afterwards.
Experience is a wonderful thing. It helps you recognise a mistake when repeated.
I think Tanks has his trailer with him so unless he's already been to Aldi it will still be pretty empty.
Take it easy today Tanks, don't over do it.
Congratulations on the new outfit.

He doesn't have a trailer with him and if? he makes the purchase and they give him a decent trade -in price he will have to transfer all his junk into the newly purchased unit.
I may even need to drive his old one to Wollongong for him if a trade does not occur.

Ya got me there Dottie!
Eleven months in a small country town and a visit to Albury is The Big Smoke!
Melbourne would be EEEEAAAGH!
Not even sure I want to return to visit Warners Bay! It seems to have 'growed a bit'...
And we've slowed down a bit...
TANKS,
Could we please have a report on your takeover lesson, and some pix...
Regards & God bless,
Ray

Where do I start !!! OK TODAY IS MONDAY (I think).
N/George came along this afternoon after the lessons and helped me unload the gear from the Sprinter into the Iveco. Without his very capable assistance I would be here for a month. I still might be because there are about 20 different keys for different underbody bins, diesel heater, ulp on-board generator, and lots of other things that I cant remember. I even forgot to have lunch.
I have another day in AustM-homes secure yard during which time I have to empty another 6 cupboards which contain my clothes, socks/jocks, polo shirts, tee shirts, shorts, long trousers, and a lot of other gear that I will most probably never wear on my trip. I have yet to learn the finer points of discarding unnecessary clothes. .
i HAVE HAD THE MECHANIC/WORKSHOP BLOKES REPLACE A FAULTY DOOR LATCH ON THE SECURITY DOOR, sorry caps lock thing again. He is going to clean the LPG griller jets on the stove and a few other minor things that need attention when the workers return on Tuesday morning.
I have contacted KEN TAME and had the insurance policy amended to cover the Iveco, and I have to pay an adjustment of $ 178.17 for an agreed value. Tame have bumped my excess from $100 to $200, but I will phone them about this as my previous 3 claims relating to the Sprinter were for storm damage to the awning, broken window, and transport for repairs. I feel that the excess should remain at $100.
Aust M/homes cover me for 14 days to return to WA before they cancel the NSW license on the Iveco. I want to have the Iveco with WA plates and as such I have to have the vehicle over the pits in WA, and pay the WA Stamp Duty. (we don't have pink slips over in WA, and the authority won't recognise NSW the roadworthy inspection.
While I was at the bank completing the payment for the Iveco, "Russell" [bless him] escaped from his harness and chain and went about 300 yards from the place where the Sprinter and the Iveco were parked into the front office looking for me. NO KEITH THERE [so panic and alarm].
He would not let any of the staff "arrest him" and he took off in a hurry to find me, straight out the back gate and onto the street.
Tim (the driver from Aust Mhomes who took me to the bank) saw "Russell" running along in the middle of the road with about 4 cars following him just as we were turning off the Pacific Hiway into the Aust M/homes parking lot.
"Russell" has no road knowledge and is not experienced with traffic. He came to me when I called him and he was very happy to see me.
Time to charge the laptop battery and get some sleep.
STAY TUNED FOR ANOTHER EXCITING EPISODE.
Keith.
I'm now 87 years old, having experienced another birthday, and I'm still living in WA, single (gave up looking), white hair, no teeth, no money, no worries.
I plan to have another birthday next year.
Suffering snakes Russell, what a naughty daddy you have, he was told to lock you up securely whilst in "that land" very lucky things ended happily phew. So now you are going to head all that way home again ? bloody hell you need more than a good woman M8.. Take things a bit easier. Just chuck all but one of everything out Tanks that will see you right.. We are moving along from here in the morning.
Queen of the Banal & OT chatter and proud of it. If it offends you then tough titty titty bang bang.
3 of everything.... one on one off and one in the wash.
theres a way around the rego, you can have a WA mailing address and a nsw garage address i think is the way it is, then you can just changeover to WA plates after 12 months, no pit required. Should have done that with ours...
